"Volunteer Vacations"

Has anyone ever done any volunteering in other countries? This seems like a pretty cool way to see the world, other cultures, etc. I saw a segment about Doctors Without Borders on TV a while back, and that just struck me as the greatest thing ever. Unfortunately the local Engineers Without Borders branches are either relatively inactive or difficult for new members to get in with enough to join trips. I can't believe how much some organizations want to charge to hook travelers up with these types of things! I've heard that it's better to go through organizations within the destination country. Anyway, just curious if anyone's had any experience with this type of thing.
